🇳🇿 :tinoflag: 💉*9 Roger

@rogerparkinson@mastodon.nz
mastodon 4.5.8

I live in rural #aotearoa/#newzealand in an earth brick house that looks like a Romanesque abbey. I spend my time coding, making electronic stuff, a bit of writing, some woodwork and a lot of gardening.
Weather permitting I kayak and hike.
I try to use my old, white, male privilege for good.
My header shows a mountain tarn on the Kepler track, with Te Anau in the distance (except the cloud got in the way). My profile is clipped from a shot taken on the Tongariro Crossing before I got tired.

I've been messing about with #Rust lately and using #eclipseide with it. I had to solve a couple of problems so I wrote up what I did.

@fluidlogic I can't say I thought about them much, other than the idea of taking a machine home rather than using it at the office. I got a PC and I mainly used it to dial into the VAX machines at work. I never gave the others (ie 8 bits) a thought. Then I had to do some programming on, by then, Windows 3. Had to jump through lots of hoops to do what I wanted in 16 bits.

@fluidlogic I did skip them entirely, yes. Though I have done things with embedded 8 bit devices more recently eg ATTiny85 and Teensy.

@fluidlogic I worked on PDP 11s from the mid 70s to 1981 then onto Vax gear. So 16bits then 32 bits. It meant I got into 32 bits early and I wasn't interested in the PC machines. I did dabble in Windows towards the end of the 80s because a client wanted it and... only 16 bits? Are you kidding me?
